Abstract
A gas analyzer for measuring a respiratory gas component includes an emitter that transmits infrared (IR) radiation through a measurement chamber containing respiration gas, and at least one IR detector configured to receive at least a portion of the IR radiation transmitted through the measurement chamber and to generate radiation measurement data based on the received IR radiation. A light source is configured to emit light onto a color indicator, wherein the color indicator is one of a predefined set of colors. A color detector is configured to detect light reflected by a color indicator so as to identify color information. The controllers configured to determine a respiratory gas component concentration within the measurement chamber based on the color information and the radiation measurement data.
